Is it science? Is it religion? What exactly is the Design Revolution? // Today scientists, mathematicians and philosophers in the intelligent design movement are challenging a certain view of science—one that limits its investigations and procedures to purely law-like and mechanical explanations. They charge that there is no scientific reason to exclude the consideration of intelligence, agency and purpose from truly scientific research. In fact, they say, the practice of science often does already include these factors! // As the intelligent design movement has gained momentum, questions have naturally arisen to challenge its provocative claims. In this book William A. Dembski rises to the occasion clearly and concisely answering the most vexing questions posed to the intelligent design program. Writing with nonexperts in mind, Dembski responds to more than sixty questions asked by experts and nonexperts alike who have attended his many public lectures, as well as objections raised in written reviews. // The Design Revolution has begun. Its success depends on how well it answers the questions of its detractors. Read this book and you'll have a good idea of the prospects and challenges facing this revolution in scientific thinking.

      Is intelligent design (ID) thinly veiled creationism? Or perhaps simply anti-evolutionary resentment? Dembski (truly one of the pillars of ID) fields the easy questions as well as the tough ones, and Grover Gardner gives Dembski voice in covering this dense material. In a measured and conversational tone, Gardner brings to life some of the complexities of this field: Michael Behe's theory of irreducible complexity, evolution's information theoryΓ ID-specific quandaries such as "the Wedge document," and ID's supposed religious implications. But while Gardner does everything possible to make this accessible, the material will be difficult to grasp for anyone not steeped in the debate. Dembski's honest assessment of this approach to scientific inquiry might not be the checkmate move his camp anticipates. S.M.M. (c) AudioFile 2007, Portland, Maine
